Foreign Relations Club Opens
With a Very Large Attendance
Sixty-one Members Show En­thusiasm
to Join Club
<$>
New and old members of the For­eign
Relations club, which meets
every second and fourth Wednesday
of each month, flocked to the first
meeting of this group last Wednes­day
evening at 7:30 o’clock. Norman
De Boer, p r e s i d e n t , opened the
meeting with election of officers.
Ed Cebull is the new vice-president,
and Katherine Madigan is to serve
as secretary and treasurer. The club,
through its activity and efficiency,
showed speed and resourcefulness in
electing its officers.
Dr. Fafmer led the discussion,
which was on the European affairs
of today and the near past. He re­viewed
the Czech crisis, nationalities
there, feeling before the World War
and now, and Chamberlain’s “ selling
out” the Czechs. Through a charac­terization
of Hitler, made by him­self,
interest was carried forward to
his objectives: the Rumanian oil
fields, Ukraine, and a dominant pos­ition
in Europe to be gained at any
cost.
It was stated that France and
Great Britain are playing for time
because they are not prepared for
war.

For All Women
1938 ENROLLMENT
CHALLENGES 1937
Closely paralleling the 1937 en­rollment
of 268, the fall quarter
begins with a total of 262.
As usual the girls are in ma­jority,
with a total of 168. The
boys, though still in minority
with a total of 94, have increased
their quota decidedly. The 1937
record shows 77 boys.
That freshmen girls might know
the activities, requirements f o r
membership, and awards of the
Women’s Athletic Association, old
members of the club gave their an­nual
mixer the evening of Monday,
October 10, in the dormitory recrea­tion
hall.
Each activity manager spoke
about her sport. Miss Hamer, W. A.
A. sponsor, Elaine Tschache, presi­dent,
and Audrey Dahl, past presi­dent,
welcomed the newcomers and
described the club, its purposes, and
its values to prospective teachers.
Later a musical program provid­ed
entertainment. One of the most
popular numbers was a selection of
western songs by Osborne Back,
who played on Major Bowe’s Ama­teur
Hour in Akron, Ohio, October
8th.
The party closed with the singing
of coUege songs while refreshments
were served.
Normal College
Faculty Attend
M.E.A. Meetings
Every educator is faced with the
problem of securing a more suitable
curriculum for the grade or school
of which he may be in charge. It is
with this in mind that the Montana
Education Association holds its an­nual
sectional meetings at which the
Normal College will be represented.
Meetings will occur at Bozeman,
Billings, Great Falls, Kalispell and
Wolf Point, October 27, 28, 29.
At the meeting in Bozeman, Miss
Duboc will speak before the Inter­mediate
Section on “The Materials
and Daily Schedule of an Inter­grade
Program.” Dr. Farmer will
also speak at Bozeman. His address
will be presented to a group of soc­ial
science and English teachers
with the title of “Objectives of the
Social Studies Curriculum.”
Miss Buss goes to Great Falls to
speak before the School Library
Section on “Trends in School Lib­rary
Work,” and Miss Albertson
will be the principal speaker at the
alumni banquet there.
Many other members of the fac­ulty
plan on attending the local
meeting at Bozeman, but have not
definite plans as yet.

supervisor, and Miss Miller, first

ABOUT THE “GO”
Pajama Party
Welcomes All
New Women
Normal College girls held their
annual “mixer” Thursday night, Oc­tober
6. The ever-popular pajama
party was held at the recreation
hall and was a great success. In­formality
broke the ice and good
fellowship prevailed.
The Indian War Dance, taught by
Audrey Dahl, was appropriate for
the occasion. The girls, dressed in
colorful bed-time attire, swayed
gracefully back and forth, creating
a picture delightful to behold.
Entertainment for the evening
was afforded by Nadine Kuss, Dor­othy
Hagler, and the “Famous Five”
consisting of Eleanor Moritz, Helen
Marquis, June Carlson, Frances Mc-
Phail, and Margaret McLeod.
Dancing and refreshments brought
the evening to an all-too-soon end.
Anticipation of “Go Day,” sched­uled
for Tuesday, October 18, pre­dominated
Friday as students left
school. The W. A. A. cabin, Torrey
Lodge, on Birch Creek, had been
chosen for the scene of celebration.
Extensive plans for lunch and enter­tainment
were under way, when
Saturday and Sunday brought a
heavy snow storm which definitely
“ froze” all chances of going.
Because of the uncertainty of
weather conditions, no information
regarding a probable future date is
available at this time. Watch your
bulletin board for further develop­ments.
The Montanomal is grateful to
Dr. Davis for the following history
of “Go Day” at M. S. N. C., which
will be of interest to all students.
The first “Go” occurred October
25, 1906, at Sheep Canyon. The day
was perfect. The party was com­posed
of a grub wagon, a tally ho,
a faculty wagon, and three hay
racks. One hundred fifty persons
were present. The group left the
canyon at five o’clock, some on foot,
for a wheel came o f f one of the
wagons.
In succeeding years Sheep Can­yon,
Axe Canyon, Green’s Canyon,
Birch Creek, Barrett, Argenta, and
other points were the objectives.
The horse and buggy setting grad­ually
gave way to more modern
means of transportation. Special
trains were used in 1922 and 1925.
The “Go” during early years was
held in September or October.
Last year “Go Day” was held
October 7, at Torrey Lodge, and
was particularly successful.
